This is the info we were given. After doing some research though i am doubting the Light Sussex...none ive come across this far have brown speckles like im now seeing on ours?

I will add, we are very new to chickens, my daughters kindy incubated a heap of eggs from our local hatchery, we adopted these 3. I have done ALOT of reading about all things chicken, but am still learning. I watch their behaviour, so far, none seem dominant, they all sleep together, & so far they all 'chirp'...i have not noticed any other noises. Their combs are all similar size & colour...although the australorps comb is a little 'redder' than the other 2. Their tail feathers are all very similar to each other though.

Im more than happy with 'all hens' as an answer...because i really do want to keep all 3 babies BUT...does anyone else want to hazard a guess? I am very curious to know if it is possible to tell yet...the info ive read is very conflicting on this.

The Lohmans is just a specific Red Sex Link mix. That means, judging by her color, she is without doubt, a pullet. Your second "Light Sussex" looks to actually be a Red Sex Link cockerel. Your first chick is indeed a Black Australorp and appears to be a pullet as of now, but it's too early to be sure.

Thank you I did have doubts regarding the breed of the 'light sussex'. I will have one upset little girl if we do need to rehome 'her baby' if in fact a rooster though Fingers crossed i will be able to do a 'switch' without her noticing

I'm sorry! I would wait a bit to be sure that it is in fact a Red Sex Link, although that would make switching it out harder...
